U., to fill a week's engagement Fied Niblo will arsume the Pineapple ACH season more and more El people become cognisant of I the great food value of the pineapple and as a result every year new ways of serving the fruit are suggested. If you are of those who enjoy the fruit only In the summer season, you may . find these pineapple fancies pleasant eight months from now. Certainly pineapple owes a large part of Its popularity to the fact that It Is cooling, refreshing and digests well, , but It Is also most adaptable and Is quite In place at every meal. Cut In large pieces, with rind left, It makes delicious breakfast fruit. Pipped in sugar If you have a sweet tooth. Fresh pineapple marmalade Is de licious with crisp toast. Have you ever tried making this for temporary use from the portions of a pineapple not used when served as a first course T Stew it, having careftilly removed eyes and grated It until tuider. Then add a pound of sugar to every pint of fruit, and boll until It jellies slightly,, tested In a saucer. To eat quickly, less boiling Is needed and the flavor Is more delicate. As first course for luncheon or din ner cut rounds of the fruit across the pineapple, leaving on the rind. Each is an Inch thick.

Now that the elbow sleeve is once more in fashion it behooves girls to pay atten tion to the skin of their arms. Keep a watchful eys for dust. A girl who would be horrified at tiie thought may have a grimy look about the elbow. It la easily acquired and needs constant scrubbing to prevent. Use a small flesh brush and pure white soap, with once a week liquid green oi. The latter must be rinsed off thoroughly. Be' careful to dry the arms well aftor bathing; otherwise roughness of the outl et often occurs. It also forms from not rubbing hard enough In bathing. When the akin Is thus rough It is more often found on the back of the arm than elsewhere. Rub with powdered pumice moistened in water or alchohol. Follow by a thorough rubbing with cold cream. If your skin Is sensitive to sunburn or freckles do not go out in daytime without long loves. It Is almost impossible to re move freckles from the arm, though they may fade off the face in winter. Where arms are red see first that there la no pressure around the armhole; also that the corset Is not too tight. Use lemon at night as a bleach, followed by a whit ening ceam. If all methods fall, resort to powder well rubbed In. It wilt take off the most brilliant hue. If the arm Is too thin, enlarge It by tensing exercises. A good one Is to hold the arm at right angles to the body; then clench the fist and draw It- up until it touches the shoulder. This should be done as It pulling a heavy weight Just a word as to the etiquette of the elbow sleeve.

St Rita's is the new name of St. Cath erine's, the comfortable young women's boarding home which the sisters of mercy maintain in the former convent at Eight eenth and Cass streets. The change In name, however, is not to mean a change in method. The purpose of the sisters Is still to supply a peaceful, well ordered home for the young women of the city, who have not homes of their own, and to do this at a cost not prohibitive to the wage earners. As St. Catherine's, St. Rita's was opened about three years ago, the building was formerly the convent of St Catherine.

Westminster Unzette. BALLOONING OVER ATLANTIC Wellsnan Oaabaar Being- Inflated for Projected Trip Over tho Ocean. A serious attempt to fly across the At lantic Ocean will be made from Atlantic City, N. J within the next two weeks. The public has hardly realized the seri ousness of this attempt and the elaborate ness of the preparations are a revelation to all who see them. Walter Wellman Is at the head of the enterprise and has asso ciated with him Mr. Vannlman, a skilled engineer of high repute, and a corps of assistant engineers, mechanicians, etc. The ballon Is now being Inflated with hy drogen gas, and this process has been In progress for nearly a week. The gas works are attached to the hanger and consist of a series of cylinders containing sulphuric acid and Iron filings, which, when brought Into contact, produce hydrogen gas. This Is drawn Into the balloon by its own sue ttlon at a very perceptible rate. The bal loon on Sunday was apparently three-quarters full of gas, and should be fully Inflated by the end of the week. The balloon rests In a building nearly 800 feet long by seventy-five feet high, erected by the enterprise of the Atlantic City hotel keepers. It lies behind the base ball park at the Inlet. The front Is near the beach pointing toward the sea, and consists of tarpaulin that Is easily detachable, so that when the signal Is given the cigar-shaped airship can move forward directly toward the European coast. The balloon Itself ,1s about 220 feet long, and is made of heavy silk, strong and durable. A portion of the envelope was used in Mr. Wellman'a experiments at Spitsbergen and In his attempt to fly to the North Pole, but since then It has been lengthened and a carrying weight of '8,000 pounds has been aded. The buoyancy of the balloon is made ap parent by the extraordinary efforts needed to keep It down, although It Is leas than three-quarters inflated. Bags of sand In clusters of five are suspended by ropes from each side of the balloon. Already nearly ten tons of this ballast are hanging from the partly filled envelope to restrain It from rising through the roof, and It will probably require 30,000 pounds of sand to keep the balloon In the hanger when It Is fully Inflated. When the bag is full it will be held by heavy chain anchors, as well as the sand ballast bags, while the car Is being at tached. The car, In the unscientific lan guage. Is made of drawn steel, about LiO feet long. It will be fitted with seven com partments, wide at the top and narrowing at the bottom to a gangway of wood. A ribbon of heavy material whloh might be termed a "pleat" extends all around the balloon. The car will be attached to this pleat with heavy hickory sticks woven Into It and attached to the car by steel drawn wire. Underneath the oar is a long tank, pointed at each end like a torpedo about 150 feet long and nearly two feet In diameter. It Is made entirely of drawn welded steel and will be filled with gaso line. There will be two engines of eighty-horse power each, similar to those used in motor boats. They will drive four Immense pro pellers, two on each side, which resembele the fins of a fish. They are made of wood, and have a tremendous thrust that can propel the airship at twenty miles an hour. There will not be the same danger from CHOCOLATE x - - BST I . . . if) in navor and w and strength. ' y these propellers as that fiom - those of aeroplanes, as they will revolve at less than half the ordinary speed of the latter. U Is Intended that they should drive the air ship In a calm at the rale of twenty miles per hour without extra strain, lly a skill ful mechankal arrangement the plane of these propellers can be lowered or raised from a steering wheel Inside the car, so mat the nose of the slUp can he lowered or elevated as the occasion requires. Underneath the gasoline tank a lifeboat will be suspended, equipped with supplies for thirty days. It Is now aruiiacd that five persons will accompany Mr. Wrllman on the trip. Besides Mr. Vannlman. the chief engineer, there will be three assist ants and a wireless telegraph operator. The passengers will probably sleep In the lifeboat. The distance from Atlantic City to Europe is about 8.000 miles. The trade winds at this time of year are steady and continuous from the American shores to the European coast, and follow almost the course of the Atlantic liners. It Is believed that they w Ml blow at an average rate of about twenty miles an hour, which would give the ship a speed of forty miles. If this can be maintained the voyage from Atlantic City to the European coast would require about four days. The wireless operator who will accom pany the ship Is the man who received the famous "C. Q. IV message of Jack limns from the sinking Republic. He Is now In Atlantic City with his apparatus, and will attach It to the oar this week. All the equipment, apparatus, and sup plies, Including the propellers, are now on the ground, and a force of nearly 100 men-watchmen,- engineers and mechanics are at work day and night, pushing tho prepar ations with all possible speed. Unless soma now unforeseen accident occurs the pre parations for the departure can be com pleted within a fortnight at the most, and can probably be finished a day or two sooner. New York Times. THEY ARE SOBER ENGINEERS Result of Inflexible Itules Asvalnst Intemperance Enforced by the Brotherhood. It la safe to say that no other union, club or organization of any sort applies quite such heroic treatment to undesira ble citizens aa the Brotherhood ot Loco motive Engineers. One thing that the brotherhood most strenuously Insists upon Is that its members shall not drink. Tl.!rty-flve members were ex pelled for getting drunk in 1909, and their shame was publicly proclaimed In the Journal. The treatment does not stop here by any means. The brotherhood will not risk the lives of its members and the gen eral public by permitting a drinking man to run an engine. When a man has been duly convicted of drinking and punished according to the laws of the order, the facts are laid before the proper authorities on the road that employes him, and his discharge is demanded. In one notable In stance the engineer of a fast train got drunk during his layover and disgraced himself. He was tried, convicted and ex pelled, the management was Informed, and the offender's discharge requested In regular form. But as the engineer had been a good man, the railroad company demurred, saying that he had not been drunk while on duty. "But," said the brotherhood, "there Is no telling when a man who gets drunk off duty may take a notion to get drunk on duty, and we do not intend to take any chances on having a drunken man tearing through the country at Blxty miles an hour, endangering the lives of others. It Is unfair both to the employes In your service and to your patrons." The culprit was discharged. He can never be employed on a railroad again. C. F. Carter In Century Magazine.
